Overall Car Sales

We’ll also include sales figures from the last 6 months to give you an idea about the 6-month trend of each car on sale in India and share our observations.

  • Speaking of consistent performers over the last 6 months, top five cars ranked by the average sales over the last 6 months are:
    1. Maruti Suzuki Baleno   (B2-Hatch, 17,529)
    2. Maruti Suzuki WagonR (B1-Hatch, 16,743)
    3. Maruti Suzuki Swift       (B1-Hatch, 16,396)
    4. Tata Nexon               (B2-SUV, 14,529)
    5. Maruti Alto/Alto K10   (A-Hatch, 14,087)
  • As it is clear from the numbers, Maruti holds the biggest market share owing to its consistently good selling cars. 4 out of 5 cars with best average sales for 6 months are from Maruti Suzuki.
  • Tata has done something right with their B2-segment SUV, the Nexon, as it stands 4th out of 78 cars on sale in the Indian market currently.
  • Disregarding the numbers of low volume cars like Marazzo and Kona Electric, the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz was the clear winner in terms of YoY gains in April. It recorded a YoY growth of about 146%.
  • The 10 top-gainers in the market in the YoY comparison analysis are:
    1. Maruti Suzuki Ciaz   (146.00%)
    2. Hyundai Tucson           (86.57%)
    3. Hyundai Verna      (85.75%)

    8. Kia Sonet   (50.02%)
    9. Tata Tiago   (46.00%)
    10. Skoda Superb   (45.19%)

  • Maruti’s supremacy over the Indian car market is such that Maruti would have to lose over 87,600 units in sales to match the second best-selling brand, Hyundai.
  • The WagonR from Maruti Suzuki was the best-selling model in April, with almost 21,000 units sold.
  • The manufacturer with the least units sold in April was Jeep, with just 558 units.
  • In the last 6-9 months, we’ve witnessed a lot of action in the Indian auto industry with a bunch of new car launches, generation updates and mid-life refreshes. We can expect a lot more to happen in 2023.
